Warner Bros. have screened a good 25 minutes of WATCHMEN in Los Angeles and several online movie outlets have wrote up a detailed report, the best of which you can find at Collider.
Though after the image, I have condensed the main bits for you…
- The opening fight scene is extended and more violent than what is depicted in the comics. Post fight (I’m trying not to spoil anything for anyone who hasn’t read the book) comes the credit sequence.
- The six minute credit sequence is a montage of WATCHMEN universe events (Dr. Manhatten on the Moon) mixed in with real life events and figures including JFK and Einstein. The sequence is played with Bob Dylan’s “The Times They Are A Changing” in full.
- Remember those slow motion fight scene sequences from 300? Well Zack Snyder has brought them back but here they are “even better and more methodical”.
- The current length is a whopping 2 hours and 45 minutes and Snyder is desperate not to cut it down.
- Snyder denies any involvement in a sequel and said ‘Warner Bros would be stupid to make one’.
- The next trailer will play with prints of QUANTUM OF SOLACE in November but probably not with prints of the film in the U.K. where it opens at the end of the month.
